How To Fix fitgcp: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu fitgcp is provided by fitgcp package.

fitgcp is:

Genome coverage, the number of sequencing reads mapped to a position in a genome, is an insightful indicator of irregularities within sequencing experiments. While the average genome coverage is frequently used within algorithms in computational genomics, the complete information available in coverage profiles (i.e. histograms over all coverages) is currently not exploited to its full extent. Thus, biases such as fragmented or erroneous reference genomes often remain unaccounted for. Making this information accessible can improve the quality of sequencing experiments and quantitative analyses.

fitGCP is a framework for fitting mixtures of probability distributions to genome coverage profiles. Besides commonly used distributions, fitGCP uses distributions tailored to account for common artifacts. The mixture models are iteratively fitted based on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install fitgcp

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install fitgcp.

sudo apt -y install fitgcp

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install fitgcp
